Asking for someone: if they have a plate in their wrist from a wrist injury in the past,will that cause any issue at a biometrics appointment?

Because of an injury, a plate was put in the wrist about a year ago,it's all healed but the plate is like an implant and is in the wrist.will that cause any issues? Should they carry documentation for the wrist surgery?

None for biometriocs.

It might set off the walk through metal detector

So is it enough to just tell the guard in advance about the plate in wrist or should they bring some paperwork showing surgery was performed?

I'm sure the guard will understand, don't have to say the full story unless they asked but you can point at it and they'll see. The biometrics mostly take fingerprints afaik.
